  • What is the Event of Events Competition?

    The Event of Events was a 2016 competition showcased in a reality webisode-style format. It featured contestants pitching their event ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win $20,000 to turn their event idea into reality.

  • Do you have an idea for a new event? Want to grow an existing one?

    From conferences, to trade shows, festivals, sporting tournaments and beyond, Regina boasts a vibrant and diverse event scene with a reputation of a welcoming and well-organized host community. Do you have an idea for the next Pile O Bones BBQ Championships or Saskatchewan Fashion Week to enrich our community and attract visitors to our beautiful city?

    Both brand new ideas and ideas for substantially growing or changing existing Regina-based events will be considered. Entries must be submitted by the individual or organizations that owns the event or idea.
